Ipswich vote to amalgamate leagues

Share on social media

The city of Ipswich and its regions are synonymous with the game of rugby league and this iconic area has accumulated a fair share of history after more than 100 years of participating in the game.

Current XXXX Queensland Maroons coach Kevin Walters hails from the town, while Allan Langer is another State of Origin great who got his start in the region.

Ipswich notched another rugby league milestone recently when the Ipswich Junior Rugby League and Ipswich Senior Rugby League clubs voted in an overwhelming majority to amalgamate the former incorporated associations, and create a “company”.

This new entity will oversee the operations of the game in the region.

The inaugural Ipswich QRL Local League Board of five members was elected by the club members, in conjunction with the Annual General Meetings for both the Ipswich JRL and Ipswich RL bodies.
